My periods are finally starting to get better after seven months of irregular bleeding.They still aren't normal like before the Kenalog.Last month I only had one period and it was very heavy and lasted for ten days.My periods used to last three to five days with heavy flow the first two days.Now I am affraid to leave the house when I have a period because the flow is so heavy and I always end up bleeding onto my clothes no matter what I do.I have also experienced random gushes of blood on my ''off days''.I will probably never wear white pants again.I think that it is cruel for a doctor not to warn a female patient that this could happen to her.My doctor said that he never heard of this side effect.The drug comes with warnings how can they not know.I have also suffered depression and severe anxiaty since Kenalog,could this be because I have permanent PMS now? I am like you ,I do not want any more shots or hormones in my body either.Good luck and know that you are not alone.

I had a kenalog shot in May of 2007 for a rash I had on my chest. I asked the Doctor several times if there would be a side effect. His answer was no. His person (I don't believe she was a nurse) gave me the shot. I felt like I was having a heart attack that night. I got my period twice in June and July. I have had pain in my calves and have gained about 5 pounds. I also have a dent in my left bum cheek that is getting bigger and a bruise. Since it is now September and I have been pms for 3 weeks I decided to look online for side effects of Kenalog. I am pissed! It is September and I just called my Dr. He claimed that Kenalog leaves your system within seven days. He want to send me to and endocrinologist. Why? So they can tell me it's Kenalog? Yeah I know! I want to sue the people who have put out this drug without listing the real possible side effects. I have malasma on my face from the hormonal imbalance. I have paid to see a hormonal specialist and have a vaginal ultrasound, because I couldn't figure out why my hormones are so out of whack. There are enough of us, we should get together and file a class action suit before this happens to anyone else!
